TY - JOUR U1 - Zeitschriftenartikel, wissenschaftlich - begutachtet (reviewed) A1 - Thies, Christian A1 - Khachaturyan, Galina A1 - Zemel, Assaf A1 - Kemkemer, Ralf T1 - Image analysis of self-organized multicellular patterns : multicellular pattern formation on compliant elastomer surfaces as model system JF - Current directions in biomedical engineering N2 - Analysis of multicellular patterns is required to understand tissue organizational processes. By using a multi-scale object oriented image processing method, the spatial information of cells can be extracted automatically. Instead of manual segmentation or indirect measurements, such as general distribution of contrast or flow, the orientation and distribution of individual cells is extracted for quantitative analysis. Relevant objects are identified by feature queries and no low-level knowledge of image processing is required.
